Field experiments were carried out during 1997-2001 on arable field near Wroclaw. Herbicides to weed control in sugar beet were applied at recommended dose alone and in mixture with adjuvants. Samples of soil, leaves and roots of sugar beet were taken on the day of harvest. Additional, soil samples were taken six weeks (in autumn 2000) and five months (in spring 2001) after harvest. All samples were analysed (herbicide residues) using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV-detection and gas liquid chromatography (GLC) with ECD. Residues of active ingredient of herbicides determined in roots and leaves of sugar beet did not exceed acceptable values included in EU standards and herbicides use in normal agricultural practice should not present problems for following crops. Moreover, the addition of adjuvants caused an increase of the herbicide active ingredient residue in soil, leaves and roots of sugar beet samples in comparison with the treatments, where herbicides alone were used.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of herbicide and adjuvant application on residues in soil and plant of sugar beet}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130888/PDF-MASTER/7_PLANT_43_3_2003_Kucharski_Influence.pdf}, keywords={herbicide, adjuvant, sugar beet, residues, HPLC}, }
